It sounded to me like the ‘friend’ probably slept through several of his law school classes. Or perhaps didn’t share the whole story.

No, this was quite a few years ago, and I think precedent has changed.
Anyway, I'm not in law, but he was in law school at the time, and if I remember right, he told me something to the effect that he didn't want to fight it because he didn't know which path in law he would take in the future and wasn't sure he wanted this on his record.

How many times have we seen it? Someone is pulled over for a traffic violation, or maybe just a routine traffic stop, and the next thing you know his or her car is being searched. Nevertheless, most of the time, it is with the consent of the of the person being stopped. Why are you consenting to a search when there is no probable cause for one? The answer is simple, people are not aware of their rights.

PING!
